Hi ujjwal258518, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand that your microphone is not working properly in your combo port. Unfortunately this is behaving as expected. The combo port will not work with microphone only devices, it would have to be part of a headphone/microphone communications device. The alternative option is to get a USB microphone.

As described in the user guide: "If you get a microphone/headphone device, be sure that the device cable has a 4-conductor connector that supports both audio-out (headphone) and audio-in (microphone)."
